Hello! I'm Leigh Allen-Arredondo

I'm a seasoned leader in tech turned consultant, coach, teacher, and podcast host. I have a passion for helping individuals and teams become more effective, strategic partners and leaders in their organizations.

As a strategic design and research leader for over 20 years, one of my objectives has always been to maximize the impact that insights have on reaching objectives that move the needle toward realizing that Big Picture vision. That is at the core of how I work with teams and individuals, through coaching, workshops, and training.

Through my business, Strategic Leader, I support teams and individuals around the world, in their quest to do meaningful, impactful work, and create fulfilling, sustainable, and impactful careers.
